Michigan where she ought to l>e.
. The representative* of the big mine
are considering the return of Michi
gan at their meeting In Chicago to
day. The matter hinges on the train
'ng table proposition.
.Michigan nan listened to the annual
Mitnor eve? since the Wolverines turn
,'.*d their fitces towsrd the east, and Fa
tecrudeicence now Is merely contin
ued evidence that something is wrong
<rlth Michigan’s standing in the world
»f athletics.
The old grade w»o remember the
famous battles between Hurry-Up
Yost’s loot ball machines and Alonzo
Ftagg’e Maroons or Couch Williams
Gophers in the good old days wher.
half the nation watched the battles
for the weatern championship, long
for their return, and most of them
have always been iu favor of Michi
gan's return to the fold.
The aiudentn in college at the time,
however, fired with resentment at the
alleged dictatorial methods of the con
ference stood out for Independence
It has been a line Ideal that the cam
pus hat cherished ail these years, hut
at present there are Indications that
the student body cares more’for retl
football games than ideals, which
makes it seem possible that there are
possibilities for Michigan's return to
•he conference. * * *
Arft'Uterd.iH Plenty bf reason Jqra
desire among the students for a re
turn to the good old times. Michigan,
done In the w«ist, a solitary giant go
'iig forth each autumn to do battle
with the insolent lords of the east,
was a pkfture which the students once
liked to look uiion. The fact that the
giant came limping home each year
with both eyes closed. a few ribs brok
fM and an ear tinned, made no differ
mce for a time. The campus still i
dung l«v jts idea).
Then came s day a hen patience had
ta reward. Davy Allerdlce and his
band of bruiser* walloped the east to
» fare-you-well, winding up the s« ason
by administering a black eye to Minne
sota, and there was joy on the cam
pus. Next year the vindication was
repeated, but did the insolent lords of
he east open their grins and bul the |
\esfern giant become a membei of
heir exclusive set? Not so you could
lotlce It «
In spite of Michigan’s victories over j
•astern teams even s stranger lu Ann
vrbor would have known that some- j
rhlng was wrong. In the conference
lays a victory over Minnesota or Chi
cago carried with it a very definite sig
nificance. The victor became cham
pion of somethin* tangible to oast and 1
west alike- Michigan conquered both i
Pennsylvania and Minnesota one se*-!
son, hut it didn’t mean anything to |
anybody except a Michigan student j
Minnesota wai still the conference;
champion, and Michigan could claim
nothing but a victory over the cham
pion. lu the conference days Micntgan j
was either champion of the west or
*,he wasn’t champion of the west.
On thk other hand. Michigan gtrlnel
no prestige by defeating eastern
teams, even in years when the eai.i
ern teams were entitled to soma con
sideration by the east's Big Four, and
this year when the eastern teams
which Michigan met were the laughing
stock of the east. Michigan’s position
was suddenly brought home to stu
dent and alumnus alike hi a manner

erous distance runners are on
their way liome today without
having competed in the annual
Youkors Marathon event. The
race was postponed on account
of the weather, but many of
the athletea insisted on running
anyhow because many of them
had traveled long distances to
take part In the run. Many of
them were from Canada and the
middle west.
graduate body at Michigan could en
thuse. Defeat meant football oblivion.
Michigan had nothing to gain by vic
tories and defeat spelled ruin.
What happened football history.
Syracuse, the plaything of Princeton,
rwept Michigan off her feet; Pennsyl
vania;- defeated weekly by the fourth
raters of the east, rallied like a real
team and overcome such a lead as
Mlchlgn had never had overcome be
fore; poor, old Cornell, tl« doormat
of the eastern football teams, scored
cn Michigan, aud but for u bit of in
dividual work by Quarterback Huebei
in the closing moments of the game,
would have held Michigan to a victory
by but one touchdown.
These things provide a reason for
the old conference rumor, which is b*
log passed from mouth on every street
corner In Ann Arbor, and which is
being discussed by thousands of alum
ui in every part of the country.
Why-shouldn’t Michigan return to
the conference? At present she dif
fers on but one cr two points from the
rules of the conference teams. She
still maintains her schedule accord
ing to conference Ideas as to number
of games to be played and her eligibil
ity rules are the same.
The training table bueaboo is the
only thing which stands between
Michigan and the conference. Other
reasons may be advanced, but after
they ftfe all diagnosed carefully, the
training table la the only real stum
bling block In Michigan's path. With
thn matter disposed of there would
be no trouble In getting rid of the
other objections, and It is felt nere
that the conference and Michigan
ought to get together and settle their
differences quickly.

THOUGH A NEW WORLD’S LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION,
RITCHIE PREFERS GOOD BUSINESS TO HIS TITLE
SAN RAFAEL, Cal.. Nov. 29.—A
tall, well built, muscular youngster
with more the appearance of a college
boy than a prise ring champion, swung
around from a piano and extended his
hand In welcome.
’’Come in and make yourself at
home,” he called to the reporter.
Willie Kitchine, world’s lightweight
champion, is s typical product of this
day of gentlemanly, well educated
pugilists. He can play the piano; he
has been through nine grades In
sehool, and can converse intelligently
on everyday topics
There is nothing rough or profane
about him. He rarely swears, never
drinks or uses tobacco in any form.
"The championship to me doesn’t
mein a thlDg except a short cut to
money enough to get a nice, profitable
business. .
"No, 1 don’t mean a saloon,” be an
swered with a smile, when reminded
that that is what most pugilists end
up by doing. -e’ •
"I want a clean, legitimate business.
Just what It is to J>e I don’t know,
but its got to be open and aboveboard
and a business that is perfectly legiti
mate in every respect. Just as soon
as I can get that then I propose to
leave the prise ring. To me it’s mere
ly a short cut, not to fame, but a com
fortable living. Os course, the money
has got to come legitimately. There’ll
be nothing underhand or deceitful
about any fight l am ever in.”
Hie face, became serious and he
leaned nearer the reporter, his brown
eye drawn almost to pencil-point
smallness.
"I think if I ever become mixed up
in anything shady that it would worry
me to death.” he exclaimed earnestly.
"I couldn’t stand the worry. I think
I would have to shout it out so every
body could hear it
"I don’t like the spotlight. It’s nec

RED CORRIDON INVOLVED
IN THE TRADE TROUBLE
Inker Reported to Have Said
He Won’t Play for
Charles Webb
NEW YORK, Ndv. 29.—The maiu
topic of conversation in baseball
circles here today was the reported
break between Garry Herrmann, presi
dent of Ibe Cincinnati Baseball club
and Charles W. Murphy, of Chicago,
which. It was believed here today, will
cause real trouble for the Chicagoan
when the National league meetß here
next month.
Herrmann, who took Murphy's part
at the recent meeting when Horace
Fogel was oxpelled, claims that Mur
phy double-crossed him and It la like
ly that If President Lynch presents
charges against Murphy on Dec. 11),
they will have the enthusiastic sup
port of the Cincinnati manager.
The break came after Murphy, ac
cording to the close friends of Herr
mann, had agreed on a trade where
by Joe Tinker was to go to Cincin
nati in exchange for Mike Mitchell
and Phelan of the Reds and Ked Cor
ridon of the Detroit Americana. This
deal was arranged Wednesday night It
was said, and Murphy and Herrmann
were to have met yesterday to sign
the papers. Instead Murphy did not
show up and when the Cincinnati mag
nate got hold of him Jlf telephone
Murphy said that he had changed fils
mind.
When Tinker heard of. thin'lt waa
reported today he sought out Murphy
and accused him to his face of break
ing an agreement and told him flaHy
that, rather than play with Chicago
next season, he quit profes
sional baseball for all time.
Baseball men here believe that Mur
phy plana to force Herrmann to ac
cept Frank Chance as the manager
for the Clncinnutis despite the fact
that the "Peerlets Leader'* L unalter
ably opposed to going to the Ohio
city.
Both Murphy nnd Herrmann are In
Indianapolis today to attsnd the fu
neral of John ,T. Brush, ani friends
who talked with the Clnclnratlan be
fore he left, declared that » would
have something interesting to say to
the Chicago ownsr If they tnet.
Incidentally, al. forecasts of a Peace
ful session when the league meets
Dec. Id. are off.

Paris, or Berlin today. Abroad the
markets appeared to be falrlv coropoa

not Important, and the foreign par
tlctpatlon in this market was extreme

ed within a very narrow range, and
[there was little Interest shown even
In the usually active shares. The un
dertone was generally firm, however
in spite of the broad demand for mon
ey and the indications that tne bankr.
would make a poor return tomorrow.
Some of the railroads made an excel

, the largest on record, while the North
ern Pacific showed the largest, total,
since 1909.' The Union Pacific tots'-
I was the largest since 1909. Towards
the close the stock market became a
trifle more active, and final prices in
most cases were fractionally Higher
for the day. Call money touched 20
per cent in the last half hour. This
was much the highest rate B<nce the

and swollen.
There was no division of opmjun
here today regarding the verdict at
Vernon. All tfho witnessed the bat-

‘victor over the New Orleans boxer at
i nearly every stage of the game.

back’’ suddenly with a wonderful dls
jplay of science and punching power,

prised his most sanguine supporter*.

again in the fifteenth am}, sixteenth,
but Mandot managed to hang on untl'
the finish. The twentieth round was

RITCHIE LAUGHS WHEN
HE HEARS AD/S STORY
Impression Is That Ex-Cham
pion Preferred Foul to
Knockout
I •' \ \ J
| SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Nov. *».—
Although nine out of every tea men
who witnessed the passing ol the light'
rhaujploojihlD. fjrcjm Al Wolf*#
to Willie Ritchie argued that the erst
while champion had palpably fouled
Ritchie, Wolgast himself today chart'
j ed that he had been •roDbed."
I didn't hear Referee Griffith cau
tion me In the sixteenth round,** he
said, “and 1 do not believe 1 struck a
foul blow. | think that's a poor way
to win a championship, anyway "
Ritchie merely grinned today whaa
told that Wolgast was protesting.
“That's a flue way to be, ’ he r»
marked. “Everybody knows that Ad
fouled me twice and that Griffith
couldn’t do anything but disqualify
him. Although he was fouling me. I
,v. as not by any means weak and I
could easily have finished him *n an
other round. I just, simply had Ad's
number and I still have his number.'*
The general impression among flgbt
fans here today seemed to be tha;
Wolgast preferred to lose on a foul
rather than have a knockout scored
against him.
From the tenth round to the end.
the California boy began to wado into
Wolgast and demolish him. H« had
him in distress in the fourteenth and
in the fifteenth all but scored a knock
out. »
in the sixteenth Ritchie went afte
his man with both hands, landing pun
ishing wallops at will. Wolgast was
clearly g*>: ;> and staggered heavily
about the ring.
With a minute of the sixteenth round
remaining, Rttcttle put Wolgast to t!»•
floor and was about tar finish hin
when Wolgast rose and sent hi* left
low and fouled. The referee wnrneu
him, but he repeated the blow an I
Griffin raised Ritchie's hand as thv
victor.
Jim Griffljn who refereed yesterday’s
bout, thinks Wolgast delivered a de
liberate foul.
“Ad delivered two foul blows/' hs
said in a statement today. "It looked
to me like he tried to lose on a foul,
knowing a knockout was imminent
For eight rounds he seemed to have
the better of the milling, but Ritchie
came back and fought the champion
iff his feet. 1 warned Wolgast when
he struck the first blow, but he delib
erately repeated It and 1 believe both
blows were intentional.”
Promoter Tom Alc-Carey said today
he would try to have the match be
tween Rivers and Champion Ritchie
on Feb. 22.
